Lovers In Shadow Poem by Michael L.

two shadows sway in starlight
every night the aether writhes
by moonlight shadows sever ties
with mortal bodies, locked in dreamtides
daylight leaves lovers unaware
of the passions that they share
the shadow lovers know not where
their other halves make their lair
he forgets her skin against his
she the caress of his fingertips
and neither recalls passions flavor on their lips
the sun seems to erase their memory
blinds them from their ecstasy
seraphic rapture captured in an act of melody
a song that weaves itself from intermingled heartbeats
a pair of souls that echo love
a love stronger, fiercer, brighter, hotter than the sun
as she is to him, to her he is the one
laughter, fears, tears, rapture blossoms
but as aurora breathed her flaming breath...she lost him
and he lost her
and so they hurt
yet neither knows, neither remembers
latent flame exists in embers
all through november and december
neither one recognizes their lover
but these two are destined to be
soul mates, beloved of each other no other fish in the sea
so eventually he and she
will recall their forgotten deeds
forgotten needs, sacrifice grants heavenly wings
anf angels rejoice, angels sing
as the lovers in shadow meet
by daylight or at midnight
moon or starlight, flame or rain
they embrace each other and subsequently destiny
through compromise, fidelity and constancy
dreams come true
and love is renewed
and the shadow lovers continue
to live happily ever after
as the fairies tell, blessed and limned in seraphic rapture
